​What is Recreational Therapy?

Recreational therapy (RT) is defined as “a treatment service designed to restore, remediate and rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, to promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate the activity limitations and restriction to participation in life situations caused by an illness or disabling condition”. (ATRA, 2009)
The purpose of RT is to enable persons with physical, cognitive, emotional and/or social limitations to acquire and/or maintain the skills, knowledge and behaviors that will allow them to enjoy their leisure optimally, function independently with the least amount of assistance and participate as fully as possible in society.
RT enables all individuals to achieve quality of life and optimal health through meaningful participation in recreation and leisure.
